Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I couldn't agree more. Apple suffers from a similar fascination for half-baked features and a general disdain for its users. Prove me wrong. I'm buying a new computer soon.

Star Trek Deep Space 9 scene. We're in a hall of some kind, kind of smoky and dimly lit like a bar in Wisconsin after 8pm. Lots of Klingons are sitting and chatting in the background, must be meat raffle night. Up close, Worf and another Klingon are standing and talking. The other Klingon kind of looks like if Sisko was wearing Klingon loaf in disguise. Both have long and luscious flowing hair and are dressed in traditional Klingon uniforms with silver plated shoulder/chestal areas. Closed caption reads, "The idea is to eat, drink, stay awake all night."

I hate Gay Halloween. What do you mean you’re going as Thranduil’s Elk sniffily ghosting the Dwarves of Erebor.

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.
govpritzker.illinois.gov Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · Oct 6
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

I've been fighting this fight. Child safety is important. Reading every message every person in writes or receives unencrypted is not only a flagrant violation of personal liberties, but also WILDLY ineffective as a means of detection.

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

It'd be nice if editors at major media outlets did a basic refresher on journalistic ethics so they could understand that claims require a factual basis. By any reasonable metric, DOGE has *increased* the spending of the government and *increased* the deficit while reducing the quality of services.
larryglickman.bsky.social Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · May 4
First, what qualifications whatsoever does this guy have to speak "with the guys on DOGE"? Second, how incredibly irresponsible for the reporter Anemona Hartocollis to describe DOGE as "a group that Elon Musk has led to reduce the size and spending of the federal government."/1

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Nog is pictured up close and in Starfleet uniform in Quark's bar. He's a Ferengi, and has giant ear lobes significantly bigger than a humans and the top curve of the ear extends and connects across like a unibrow. Also from the front, his bald head is kind of shaped like a beluga whale. He's explaining something here with enthusiasm. Closed caption reads, "It's the force that binds the universe together."

Woman Reminds Self Not To Catastrophize After Spotting 4 Skeletal Horsemen On Horizon
LOWELL, MA—Doing her best to follow her therapist’s advice for dealing with stressful situations, area woman Holly Debling reportedly reminded herself Tuesday not to catastrophize after she spotted four skeletal horsemen on the horizon. “Okay, Holly, remember: Just because a great trumpet has sounded at the arrival of four unearthly riders, that doesn’t necessarily mean […]
